V FRroAY, DECEMBER 2, 1977 - PAGE 3 Photo by Hutchisson Soul Clinic: Haven Of Stylish Ideas At the mention of The Soul Clinic Ladies Boutique many girls of the caucasion race immediately think of it as a store which caters strictly to one ethnic group. A few weeks ago I accidental ly stumbled into The Soul Clinic, and to my surprise discovered it to be a haven of fashionable ideas. The Soul Clinic is a boutique, and since it is a boutique it specializes in very selective women’s appar el. The owners of The Soul Clinic are Margrette Birth and Mary Liner. Margrette, who was once a model, has incorporated her style and charm into such areas as co-ordinating great looking outfits for her customers. One of the great things about the Soul Clinic is that it carries everything you need for the complete look. Besides carrying clothes, The Soul Clinic is also stocked with beautiful access- c znq c V. cries such as earrings, brace lets, stick pins, hair combs, necklaces and even shoes. Also, The Soul Clinic helps abolish the dreadful fear that every girl has of “seeing herself walk down the street,” or “meeting yourself at a party.” Margrette refuses to buy a whole slew of the same style of clothes, and when she gets in a particular piece of jewelry that “sells like hotcakes” rather than reorder on that piece she orders a different piece that is equally outstanding. Most of the Fashions from The Soul Clinic are very origi nal. They come from various companies such as India Im ports, Khandahar Designs, Wa- verly Mills, Gina Valenti, Cac tus and Wendy Watts to name a few. Most of the styles found at The Soul Clinic are very select ive and not in a mass supply of the same style. Margrette Birth stated “We have the type of store to make one feel at ease as well as pleased. We believe every woman deserves to be or to have a certain, amount of individuality. This point we stress heavily, and our clientel- le are very appreciative of such.” The jewelry found at the Soul Clinic is ordered a year in advance, because it is imported. Jewelry by Raphael Rousseau, Whiting and Davis and Hud son’s Imports can be purchased at The Soul Clinic. There is also a men’s version of The Soul Clinic called The Soul Clinic LTD. The owner is Mr. George Birth, brother of Margrette Birth. I hope this article will influ ence many of the girls from Senior High to venture into the Soul Clinic and discover the key to looking and feeling your best. rue d — : *S rn - w K o l\le » c\s l- i- ? § D □ a n P P SOAPBOX By CLIFTON BARNES Vandalism has struck the school. . . again. Many people believe the vandals strike seldom, but Principal Elton Newbern says that windows are broken out every few weeks. Seven windows have been broken out recently costing the school valuable money. Also on Nash Street the wall and several benches were painted. I certainly hope these vandals are not from this school but judging from the persons caught last year, I’m inclined to think it may be. Besides, rolling the school with toUet paper is vandalism, also. So I know for a fact that I’m not (to use a cliche) barking up the wrong tree. As fun and amusing as it may seem, painting the streets with “Class of is vandalism. I am as school spirited as anyone but one has to draw the line somewhere. If anyone knows who is breaking windows or painting the school property he should show his school spirit by telling Mr. Newbern. These puerile actions need to cease. Maybe one day I can say . . . Maturity has struck the school. Letters To Editor Dear Editor, Just as your last question (in Score Yourself Quiz) said, “Does this column bother you?” Yes, it did very much! What does it matter if people smoke pot or drink alcohol? But there is one thing that I despise greatly, doing it aU the time. Those are the people who are trying to impress others. In a sense, drinking and smoking are not all bad. Tm amazed how a little weed and strong water can make you feel so good. I have tried both myself and between the two I would pick pot; its more com pact, and easier to carry than a big bottle of Rum. I drink mainly for the taste, not the affects. People who drink and smoke just to be doing it or to impress people are ignorant. There are other ways to im press people. If people need to get a little loose or high to go on a date, that’s showing one another that you can’t do anything alone, without the aid of dope or booze. These drugs were not made to relieve tension or social problems (they will just return on the way back down or when you sober up!) They are intend ed for the pleasure of taste and for getting high! One more question—Why would it affect your reputation? Only bad minded people think of it in a bad way! Signed, John Pippin Homeroom 209 It’s become apparent that many of the Senior homeroom teachers have not been fulfil ling their duties by enforcing the seating arrangement for gym assemblies and pep rallies. At the beginning of the year an assembly committee gather ed to make out a seating chart for all assemblies. There were some mix-ups and all people didn’t have seats, but by now. I’m sure that all of those matters have been corrected. Seniors, of course, have bottom bleachers and front rows. Yet, Seniors who were fortunate enough to get the bottom bleachers in the gym are being slighted by having parts of other homerooms gather on the floor in front of us. The students, themselves, should have enough common sense and decency to sit in their assigned seats but when they don’t, their homeroom teachers should enforce the school rules by instructing the students again as to where they are to sit and when they stUl refuse to sit in assigned seats, I see no reason why detention slips should not be issued. Now, some students may say we’re slack or whatever or get mad at us for saying these things, but we guarantee that those will be the very same students who don’t sit where they are supposed to in the first place . . . the very same students^ who don’t follow school policy, anyway!
